Nizhny Novgorod doctors are recording a spike in acute respiratory viral infections among children.

      02 December 2025 14:26 Society. In Nizhny Novgorod there is a noticeable increase in the number of pediatrician home calls, linked to a rise in respiratory infections among children and adolescents. This situation was reported by the editor-in-chief of MIA "Stacionar-press," Alexey Nikonov.

      The situation is particularly strained at Children’s Polyclinic No. 39 in the Sovetsky District. Just on Monday, December 1, its staff made more than 200 trips to young patients to provide medical care at home.

      In addition, according to NIA "Nizhny Novgorod," the lower grades of Lyceum No. 28 in the Sovetsky District have moved to distance learning due to an ARVI quarantine. The building housing the junior school is just steps away from Polyclinic No. 39.

      In light of the situation, medical workers remind parents of the importance of prevention. Doctors recommend not postponing vaccination, as the vaccination campaign is nearing its end.

      Nizhny Novgorod polyclinics also report overloaded contact centers. In this regard, specialists advise using electronic services to arrange a home doctor's visit if you have difficulty reaching the contact center by phone.

      Earlier it was reported that four schools and a kindergarten in the Nizhny Novgorod region were closed for quarantine due to ARVI.

      It should also be recalled that Rospotrebnadzor did not confirm rumors of a "new contagious virus" in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
